How to apply each product is just as important as the product you use!   Follow Jackie’s advice to elevate your beauty regimen and achieve a radiant, long-lasting finish. Follow these invaluable tips:

Step 1: Remove Eye Makeup

• Soak a cotton pad with eye makeup remover (I’m using micellar water)
• Press together so pads are evenly damp
• Close your eyes and press the damp pads on your lashes, allow time for the product to dissolve your mascara
• Open your eyes, and gently wipe away
• Repeat if necessary
• After you have removed all your mascara, wipe your under eye - be gentle as this skin is very thin.

Step 2 Cleanse

Option A: Using Pads

• Soak a cotton pad with cleanser or makeup remover, I’m using micellar water.
• Starting in the centre of your face, slowly wipe the pads towards your hairline.
• Always sweep towards your temples to avoid dragging your skin down.
• Don’t forget to do your jawline and neck!

Option B: Using Fingers

• Using your fingertips, in upward circular motions, massage into your skin to dissolve makeup etc
• Rinse with warm water.

Step 3 Tone

• Its argued this isn’t an essential step any longer, so don’t feel bad if you skip this step.
• I’m using Fresh Rose Floral Toner - which is in a spray bottle, which is nice and refreshing and can be used over makeup too.

Step 4: Exfoliate

• This is a really important step - depending on what product you are using will define how often.
• I am using Upcircle Coffee Scrub which gives a great natural exfoliate 1-2 times a week.
• Apply scrub to damp face in gentle circular motions to buff away dry, dead cells to leave you feeling soft, smooth and glowy.
• Rinse with warm water and pat dry,

Step 5: Eye Cream

• Eye creams are formulated specifically for the delicate skin around the eye, with products having targeted ingredients like caffeine to reduce dark circles.
• I am using Upcircle to brighten, refresh and renew, reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
• Using your ring finger, dot the cream evenly around the natural crease under your eyes
• Gently massage in, using little circle movements
• You can also use an eye roller for deeper absorption, The cooling eye roller helps to boost circulation for a healthy, bright glow. It also helps improve skin tone, skin texture and facial tension.  Store in the fridge for extra cooling effect!
  

Step 6: Moisturise

• Depending on the time of day - Use a Day Or Night Cream - A night cream is richer and helps the skin's natural regeneration process overnight and might be too thick under makeup.
• Spread a generous amount across your hands and press into your skin upwards and outwards.
• If you feel you need to, gentle and slowly sweep across skin - patting is gentler and avoids pulling or dragging your skin
  

Step 7: SPF Or Serum

Depending on the time of day:

     Day - Always use a SPF to protect against sun damage.

     Night - For total hydration and extra vitamins and nutrients use a serum.

• Spread a generous amount across your hands and press into your skin upwards and outwards.
